Anyone know if the creator's really had Silent Hill as a reference? The use of the hospital and the mannequins were straight out of Silent Hill 2. All we need is radio and screen static to complete the set.

The similarities to the aforementioned series probably goes deeper than their disturbing use of background music/noise and the unknown. The town of Silent Hill and it's denizens had always been a very dynamic place, representative of each protagonist's mental and psychological state. Perhaps the setting of Another is itself representative of its own characters?
